Re: TGNS servers need serious work

I defrag'd the server's disk last night (literally. me. bit by bit. with notepad.). On paper, the improvement was substantial, but none of that matters if you guys can't tell us that the gameplay is better. So go find out (please

).

Apophis, respectfully, I don't know what you know - but NS is a game plagued with the worst yo-yo style hitbox mechanics of probably any game online at this time. So if the posts here seem like overreactions they probably aren't as bad as all that, they're just very frustrated - and rightly so.

Is TF2's popularity really waning? I didn't know there was even a TG server for it.

I haven't had access to a gaming pc in two months either.

Stupid London.

Looks like TGU needs to run another session of "Wyz Humor 101"

Did notice improvements... The balance still kicks half a full server... but other than that no really noticeable lag minor lag still exists though... thank you much for what you have done so far... and I'm hoping I can get a full server most nights

Heh, I thought that might be... But then again I've been gone for two months and TF2 could be dying. :P

I'll definitely be hoping on TGNS at least for a game or two when I get back in the states.

blu.knight is DYING.

I'll focus my attention now on whatever is causing folks to get kicked by execution of the 'balance' command (I think this is unrelated to our recent performance problems, which I'll consider resolved until I hear otherwise).

**Dr. Pepper PhD.** · 02-17-2008, 05:49 AM

Nah today we had lag spikes first in co with bots then later in co without... then again later in ns (obviously also without) can't really pinpoint the trigger if there is a client side trigger

It's weird. I haven't noticed any lag at all since last year when we all agreed the server was becoming a Jigglypuff wannabe, with those 250+ ping spikes for everyone. Since then I've seen people complaining about lag whereas I haven't felt any. I don't spend countless hours playing co_ trying to seed the server, but I've still played quite a bit when server gets games going, and the only issue I've found is the balance command (oh, and the commander typing lag, which again I haven't seen recently).

I remember some time ago a bunch of random (including me and Lost) people lagged at random intervals in the server, and by tracing in ms dos we found spikes at the-planet.com or something like that. Eventually it solved itself, and Wyz kept telling us not to complain because it wasn't quite the server's fault. So maybe it's the same this time and you guys are still relating it to last year's problems ?
